A new coronavirus challenge? Ray Allen tells LeBron, Shaq to grow out their hair
Jesus Shuttlesworth needs to chill out.
A balding Ray Allen took to Instagram Tuesday and challenged several past and current NBA superstars to flaunt their natural hairlines during quarantine. LeBron James, Shaq and Carlos Boozer were among the few tagged in the two-time champion’s post.
“I’m gonna ride #myJefferson out until the ‘Rona’ kicks rocks!” Allen wrote. “For those of you that don’t know I have cut my own hair my whole life so it’s been hard not to put the clippers to it but when I look back at these pics I will remember the Rona!”
Allen’s early results were kind of horrifying:
At least he knows his future.
Considering LeBron’s attempts to elude baldness at all costs, he likely won’t follow through. Shaq might, albeit just for the jokes. There’s no telling what anyone else will do, however, growing out their hair wouldn’t be the worst decision ever (looking at you Boozer).
Allen’s post essentially is a reminder on how the coronavirus has impacted so many aspects of daily life. Regular people, let alone multimillionaires, can’t even get a shape up. So next time you complain about not being able to get a cut, just remember quarantine 2020 and Allen’s frightening challenge.
